Got a burning question about indie music? We know just the woman

This week saw the introduction of the fantastic new column by Wendy Fonarow to guardian.co.uk/music's esteemed blog. Call her the indie doctor, call her professor Wendy if you will, for she is on hand to address anything and everything you've always wanted to know about indie music. "What does indie music mean nowadays?' asked walnutdash, along with many others. "What's the most effective way to get people to be quiet at gigs?" asked badbeard. "Why do so many people on the Guardian music blogs think they're being erudite and witty by having a knee-jerk negative reaction to anything that smells of 'alternative' that is also popular?" asked johnny5eyes. Johnny, we suspect the answer to the last one demands a blog to itself. Anyhoo, professor Fonarow will return next Tuesday (20 July) to address the many questions that were put to her. Head to our music blog for the answers.

I just want you back for good, and other Take That song puns

You can't have failed to hear that Take That have welcomed Robbie Williams back into their manly fold, 15 years after he left to become a solo star. Now that Williams's solo career has ground to a halt, we can expect new material from the fivesome in November, which we can only guess will be followed by a sold-out UK tour. In the meantime, leave it to the hacks to incorporate every Take That pun they can think of into the story. But if it's lip service you're after, look no further than Take That's Jason Orange, the poet of the group, to sum up the general mood of the nation on this momentous day: "Life is beautifully strange sometimes." That it is Orange, that it is.
